A nice little addition to my bootlegs, a Polish unused cardback. As seen is this link on A Guide to Polish Bootleg Star Wars Figures, this cardback was used for containing weapons from my understanding. Man, this cardback is in awesome condition.

I just received 3 Polish Darth Vader bootlegs yesterday, so I thought I'd spotlight them and the other ones I have. I've really been enjoying these, but as I need fewer cheap ones that means I'm looking at getting into more expensive ones. We'll see just how badly I want them...

This is one of 3 unarticulated Polish bootlegs that I have. This version has a black saber...

...this one has a white saber...

...and this one is saberless. Poor bastard. [:O]

This is a 1st Generation Polish bootleg...

...this is a 2nd Generation version...

...and this is a 3rd Generation Vader. Note the kick ass sword.

BTW, I have to thank Dale and JohnA for helping me expand my bootleg collection.

I just received another Polish unused cardback, this one from my understanding in the few post above was used for the figures. I think these 2 cardbacks would look nice framed together.

They were both used for figures, Dale. There's pics of carded ones in my article. They've been there for almost 7 years. http://theswca.com/images-speci/polishboots/2nd-gen.htmlNobody remembers John though. LOL For some reason Jakub's article gets all the attention now. He helped me a lot over the years with info but he actually got a lot of his information for his article from me. In fact, many of the Polish sellers know what they know because of my article. Anyway...

I do need to update it though since they aren't 2nds as originally thought. It's just a later wave of 1st Gens. It's thought that the tall cards would have also come with weapons attached but none have surfaced yet.
